I love autobiographies, especially when it's someone that was so enmeshed in something I'm so passionate about. There's always an element of masturbation in autobiographies, and I think the ability to limit that is one of the things that separates "good" bios from "bad" ones. I'm hoping that Mac's co-author is decent and that the book doesn't sully anyone else's rep other than his own...

"If I can be totally honest, it's not a lot of guys you get impressed by. Actually, it's no one else but him. From the bench, to see what move he makes -- you're like, 'I wish I could do that.' Sometimes you sit on the bench and just think, 'wow,' and you look over to the other bench and they sit there and shake their heads, too. He has great, great skills. I'm probably not going to play with another player who has the kind of skills he has." Mikael Samuelsson on Pavel Datsyuk
